Travelling to Dromantine Retreat Centre
This present world is unstable and unpredictable. Pervaded with anxiety, fear and anger, sometimes to the point of overwhelm. At times we feel at breaking point and unable to cope.
Feelings are part of our mind. Meditation pacifies and helps to control our mind. We feel empowered and no longer a slave to our negative thoughts and feelings.
Meditation helps us gain clarity and a deep perspective that heals us from troubled states of minds.
The retreat meditations and teachings come from a pure lineage of ancient Buddhist teachings that act like a balm to our mind. A medicine that soothes our inner pain and reveals our extraordinary pure potential.
Over this weekend we will explore the true nature and incredible power of the mind. Creating confidence by developing unchartered peace from within.
